This study assessed sex differences in psychological and social problems and symptoms among 58 male and 84 female clients newly admitted to a large community mental health center. Instruments were the Denver Community Mental Health Questionnaire, an abbreviated version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, and the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale. The results indicated that women present problems of psychological distress and men report difficulties in social functioning. Although considerable emphasis has been placed by other authors on the psychological consequences of the current changes in sex roles and expectations, findings appear consistent with earlier ones
